President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has submitted for parliament’s consideration a draft law on the development of inclusive education in the country.

The Head of State posted this on his Facebook page.

"I’ve submitted to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law that would ensure the further development of inclusive education in Ukraine. This step is very topical, as now 10% of children in Ukraine need that their special needs be taken into account during the educational process," Poroshenko wrote.

He also added that the support of inclusive education at the legislative level will ensure the access of children with special educational needs to educational processes at schools.
